When Dodo woke up again, she could distinctly feel the pain in her body.
She immediately realized that she was injured.
This awakening was different from the last one.
The effects of the anesthesia had completely worn off, and her first thought was whether she had missed her flight!
She tried to sit up immediately, then a wave of pain washed over her.
Dodo took a breath and lay down again.
She noticed someone sitting by her side.
Looking over, she saw that it was John Coleman.
At that moment, he was slouched in the chair, clearly asleep.
Dodo, observing the early dawn's light outside, knew a lot of time had passed.
She moved her body a bit, very slightly this time, as she tried to sit up.
John immediately woke up.
"Dodo?" his voice was a bit hoarse.
Dodo gave up trying to get up and lay down again.
"John..." her voice was weak, "What time is it now?"
"Now?" John immediately glanced outside, "It's morning, I guess?"
Dodo: "..."
Was John sleep-drunk?
